The "itchy" eye thing ended, as usual, suddenly. One night my eyes itched so much that I went to bed looking like a big red puff head. Woke up--looking like myself. No red. No puff. No itch.
What did I do different? I took a walk in the woods with G and Riley. Period.
The cold stopped being the rib cracking wet cough and (oh, foolish me) I thought it was gone with the itchy eyes---but it's still here--only a dry cough now that makes it impossible to speak at times. Not much works-- so, I am just hoping another week and it will have worn itself (and me) out.
Monday afternoon G and I went to see the new James Bond. Spectre. It was dull, long and not all that interesting (and we were the only people in the theater). Seemed like a long farewell. I recorded Skyfall and we'll watch it sometime and enjoy it more than the new movie. The previews were all duds as well---but the new Star Wars is coming. I sat through the first one in 1978, twice or three times with my son. He was 7. Might as well see this one but wish it was with him. And he was 7 again.
My photo at the top is another chair. Love chairs, as you know. This one I liked because of the fabric. Perhaps it's a rough woven linen. I like wing chairs with a seat that tips back at the back. Sort of like a recliner without the leg part. So when you sit its like having your behind cupped.
Tomorrow grocery shopping for Thanksgiving. I need to get a turkey and start thawing it. I want to try Food52's dry brine method this year. And I found a recipe for a Pumpkin Cream Pie that sounds like the one G liked at the 99 restaurant. The usual suspects will round out the menu: mashed potatoes, baked sweet potatoes, stuffing, green bean casserole, pan fried Brussels sprouts, and brandied cranberry sauce. We're heavy on carbs @ Thanksgiving and the food lasts all weekend.
I have Thursday off. But will be back at work on Friday with my stuffing sandwich and cranberry sauce.
